King Charles’ office had its own reason to celebrate as his son, Prince Harry, made great strides in his long battle for security.
Hours after reports emerged on January 4 claiming that the Duke of Sussex’s security fight in the United Kingdom was about to be resolved in his favor, the King shared a separate congratulatory message via the Royal Family’s official Instagram account managed by Buckingham Palace. The post celebrated professional darts player Luke Littler’s latest achievement.
“Congratulations to Luke Littler on his second World Championship title!” the read message. He appeared in a video posted to the Royal Family’s Instagram Stories by Professional Darts Corporation, which captioned the original clip: “The moment Luke Littler became the fourth player to win consecutive World Championship titles!”
The timing of the Palace message was noteworthy. Earlier that day, the mail on sunday reported that Prince Harry has effectively won his legal battle to restore taxpayer-funded police protection for him and his family during his visits to the United Kingdom.
While no official announcement has been made, sources told the outlet that confirmation could come in the coming weeks. People close to the Sussexes claimed that Harry’s security has now been restored and that it is now “just a formality” before the decision is made public.
However, the source warned there could still be one final hurdle.
“The only thing that could ruin its approval now would be intervention from the Palace,” they said.
